All the town and his wife have gone to see
the PRESIDENTIAL, except ye editor, whose
duties, joined to chronic impecunfosity and
Interstate Interference, keep him at home

never mind! we may ourselves one day be
President!

TELLS EvRRYTHrNG.-If this DIR. Chase's
New Recipe Book don't tell everything, It
comes nearer to it than any other work we

An "At Home" advises us that Mr. Jas.
P. Lindsay, of st. Louis-formerly OF Iron
